Thing is, as far as I understand Dave´s slides and recent entries in 
Kernelnewbies Linux Changes as well as Heise Open Kernel log is that - 
beside delaylog - there has been quite some other metadata related 
performance improvements.

Thus IMHO reducing the recent improvements in metadata performance is 
underselling XFS and overselling delaylog. Unless of course all those 
recent performance improvements could not have been done without the 
delaylog mode.

That said, this is just my interpretation. If all recent improvements are 
only due to delaylog, then I am obviously off track.
